English Raised Roses.
It may be worthy of remark that nearly all the English Roses, raised by Messrs. Turner, Paul, Laxton, Cranston, and a few others, have proved exceedingly good, and may be depended upon.
The following English-raised Roses are said to be good; but, as I have not yet seen blooms of them, I cannot speak positively as to their merits:
Duke of Connaught (Paul & Son).—A medium-sized flower, of a rich deep velvety-crimson colour, rather flat in form, but, nevertheless, a pleasing Rose.
